160+ School Staff Trained in CPR & First Aid On-Site in Four Hours

Client

Client: Baptist College in the south of Perth
Sector: Combined primary and secondary school
Course: Half completed HLTAID009, half completed HLTAID012
Staff trained: 160 people
Training Duration: Two 2-hour sessions in one day, each running 4 groups at the same time
Trainers: Four trainers
Delivery Method: Blended (online theory + offline practice at the college workplace)

Challenge

The college required onsite First Aid and CPR training for a large number of staff, delivered efficiently across one student-free day. Participants needed different qualifications, with half completing CPR (HLTAID009) and the other half requiring HLTAID012 for those working closely with students aged 5–17.

The training had to be organised across multiple classrooms at the same time, ensuring smooth coordination of over 160 staff in a single day, with minimal disruption and a simple process for participants to find their groups and complete their assessments. Each session ran for 45 minutes for CPR and 2 hours for First Aid. All staff achieved competency.

Solution

Staff were pre-enrolled and completed online theory prior to the training day.
Training was delivered on-site across four classrooms simultaneously, with our four trainers
Sessions were run efficiently across morning and afternoon 2hrs blocks, training over 160 staff in 4 hours total
Certificates were issued in 24 hours upon successful completion.

The Challenge

The school required on-site First Aid training for over 160 staff, split across two sessions in one day. Participants included those needing CPR (HLTAID009) and full First Aid in an education and care setting (HLTAID012) for working with children aged 5–17. Training was delivered in four classrooms simultaneously, with four trainers, on a student-free day. Each session ran for 2 hours, allowing CPR participants to finish in 45 minutes while first aid participants completed a two-hour practical assessment. Staff were grouped on the day, rooms were easily arranged, and all participants achieved competency with certificates issued in 24 hours.
